Cuban Junta Gets Information That the Patriot Lrader Was Foully AsHassinated. VVeyler Itenies the Story—.llexivo May lie Involved In War With Spaiu. KIA WEST. Dee. 10.—Fighting Is report ed west of the troehn in Pinar del Rio suc tion. w here the insurgents, under Nlnceo'B successor, (icneral Hit is Rivera, have taken the field against the Spanish forces left there by General Weylsr. No details have been received yet, but 50 wounded Span ish soldiers have just arrived in Havana from the neighborhood of Arteniisa. It isstuted in Havana that General Wey fcr has called in somo of the troops now stationed outside of the city, fearing an attack by General Gomez, who is reported as coming eastward with u large force well armed and provisioned. Tho insurgents lmve already occupied several small towns held by Spaniards in the eastern part of the province of Hava na nntl have had hardly any defeats. Two trainloads o? provisions ami arm were captured by the insurgents on tht GENERAL IUTIS RIVERA. Matnnzas road Saturday or Sunday, with slight loss. It is reported that an expedition from Honduras has just landed on tho south side of the island with large supplies ol ! ammunition and arms and that the cargo was safely delivered into the possession ol . I General Rivera. Mexico May He Involved. CITY OF MEXICO, Dee. 10.—There arc confirmed reports circulating here that a mob at Barceloua has assaulted the Mex ican consulate on account of his Cuban sympathies. Considerable feeling against .Spaniards has been aroused here by an anonymous circular signed "Son of Polayo" and con taining phrases insulting to the Mexican nation aiul government. The Spaniards claim the Cubans got it up to further in 11ame the public mind against them. Telegrams from San Luis Potosi say that this document, together with impru dent articles in Correrude Espann, have contributed to bring about a state of high tension there, anil fears are expressed thut tho police v ill have to be culled on to pre vent a collision between the populace and tho resident Hponiards. The governor has given orders to protect the Spaniards. A further eause of the irritation is an attack made on a laboring man in this city, who, having shouted "Viva Cuba!" wa-s. i upon by two Spaniards and beaten. The popular sympathy is especially on thusiastic with the Cubans, anil their cause is immensely popular since it has come to be believed that Macco was be trayed to his death. Claim Macco Was AHsassinated. NEW YORK. Dec. 15.—The Cuban junta in this city is in receipt of trustworthy in formation eon firming the reports of the death of General Antonio Macco and as sorting positively thut the great patriot lender was foully assassinated—the victim of the most cowardly and treacherous plot in tho annais of modern warfare. Tho facts as rocoivod by the junta are substantially these: Karly in November Macco received a mysterious message which appeared to • •me from tho Marquis of Ahumuda, with full authorit.v from General Weylor, as the messenger carried a safe conduct issued by Weylcr | ersonally. Nothing was written, the mo-sage was only verbal. The messen ger staled that ho came to offer an inter view with the Marquis of Ahumuda to ar range the terms for tho evacuation of the island by the Spanish troops. At this conference only Brigadier Miro, chief of tho .-t iff of Macoo, was present. Well. ' answered Maceo, "go ami toll the Marquis of Ahumuda that 1 will con sider the tiling and give him an answer." Ma* eo immediately gathered his staff, and, explaining tho situation, asked the opinion of his subordinates. Brigadier Miro expressed his belief that the whole thing was a scheme of the .Span iards to catch Ma ceo in a trap. But Dr. Maximo /crtucha tried to convince the < übun leader that it was wise to meet the Marquis of Ahumuda, as the financial sit uation of Spain clearly indicated that the Spanish army would soon have to abandon Ihe light. Though Macoo was satisfied that the situation of Spain indicated a coming crisis he accepted the views of Miro and resolved to wait, thinking it strange that the first proposals for peace should bo made to him and not to General Gomez. Muceowus a very ir.odcst. and unambitious man. and as brava as IK? was faithful to Ids superiors. Without first knowing tho opinion of General Gomez he would never enter into any kind of treaty. When this first attempt of the Spanish tailed. Weyler returned to Havana to con fer with the Murqtils of Ahumuda. This is the i-x! ila tyit ion of the sudden ret urn of the butcher t<> tin? capital after ho started to l'inar del Rio to take personal com mand of the Spanish forces with tho prom ise that before his return the revolution should be crushed. Til® First Plot Failed. When Macco invaded the province of Pi nar del Rio for the second time, tho soe ond attempt at his assassination was plan ned, and Maximo Zertucha, the surgeon, was found us the traitor to carry out tho crime First. Harrera, the chief of police, succeeded in communicating with Zer tucha. Afterward tho traitor had commu nications with the Marquis of Ahun.ada, through Colonel Tort, who before tho war was an intimate friend of Zertucha, and to whom, as arranged previously, tho traitor surrendered in San Felipe. He was subsequently given his freedom, and un questionably received the reward, whieli lis said Fi have been $50,000, for ids treach ery. i Lolwiiul Tort, who is a very bloodthirsty Spanish officer, reoommonded Zertucha to the Marquis Ahumailn as the very man needed to attract Maceo o a given place and to inform the Spaniards of all tho Cu ban leader's movements. Weyler agreed, and, after promising Zertucha, through Tort, a monetary reward, with which he could live safely in Spain, started again to , Pinar del Rio with more forces still to compel Maceo to make a desperate effort j which Weyler hoped would bring him into the desired trap. Led Into a Trap. Maceo had received advices from Gomez ! that the commander in chief was prepar ing an invasion of tho west with Culls to Garcia, and that ho thought it would be j of the best moral effect if, leaving a good loader in command of the forces in Pinar ' del Rio, Maceo should pass the trochu, join i him and march with him to the very gates of the city of Havana. Tho crossing of the troehn was not an easy affair with a large body of men, and oven when opportunity offered but few Cuban soldiers oouid do it without attracting attention. Maceo ' knew how, ami moved to Muriel, but the Spaniards, through Zertucha, know of his movements and of the communication | from Gomez. On the i'jl of December Maceo sent four men to reconnoiter tho trochu on tho north side. They exchanged shots with tho sen tinels, and by this tho Spanish knew the proximity of tho insurgent leader. Then orders were given by the Spanish com mander not to resist. On the 3d Maceo sent some more scouts, who came back and assured him that tho trocha was not well defended on that side. Ho passed the i trocha on the night of tho 4th without re- , sistanco, after leaving General Ruis Rive ra in command of the Cuban forces in tho province of Pinar del Rio. On tho 6th, while inarching with six men, among them Miro, tho son of Go i mez, and Zertucha, the latter advised him | to take a route through a canelield which he know. They did so and fell into an ambush of 500 Spaniards, commanded by Major Cirujeda. I>I<MI shouting "Vivu Cuba Libret" "If you surrender," said a voice, "we iffer you your life and an honorable treaty." "Viva Cuba llbre!" answered Macco, and then the butchery began. Francisco Gomez was wounded and fell before Ma ceo. but Miro escaped. At this moment, said the Cuban commissioner to tho junta j in Havana, a band of rebels who were go ! ing to join Maceo at the Havana side ot ! Mariol, approached and were informed by j Miro of the ambush. Iho Spaniards had already taken Macoo, who was pierced with bullets, and Gomez, who killed him ! self with the last bullet of his revolver. ; They had searched tho bodies, and foui men were carrying them when the Cubans j came up. A terrible fight ensued, anil tho Cubans recovered the bodies of the two leaders, 1 pursuing tho Spanish with their machetes clear to Punta Brava. Major Cirujeda had a narrow escape, but ho was able to take , with him tho objects seized in the first | search, though he loft the bodies of Macco i and Francisco Gomez dressed and in the ' hands of the Cubans. Weyler'H Otilehil Statement. HAVANA, Dec. 15. —The Now York World's correspondent sends to bis papei i the following signed statement by General Weyler: Macoo died as a result of the feeble state 1 in which were tho insurgent bauds at Ha vana. Doubtless, before the sudden attacks and the constant persecution of the battal ion of San Quintin, they were losing ground. To reorganize those bands he put himself at their head, and for this ho died, with part of tho staff accompanying him. In the same manner have died many generals in all the wars over the world. Maceo was not killed in an ambush. My assertion can bo proved by the fact that tho .Spanish column which fought against his forces hud to maintain itself against the fire of tho insurgents, and the insurgents were strong enough in num ber to retake the bodies of Maceo and tho son of Maximo Gomez, which were carried away from the field. MUCCD was surrounded by his own men. who embarked with him, and passed tho trocha, it is affirmed by his own physician, Dr. Zertucha. It is not true that Macco was coining for any conference with mo. 1 eun prove it with two reasons. Jho first is that if 1 was in tho provlnooof Pinar del Rio, how could 1 summon him to tho province of Havana? The second is that, knowing myself tho situation in which Macco was in Pinar del Rio, knowing that his situation was so desperate that he asked help from the rebel forces in the other parts of the is land, I would not he so innocent as t agree to a conference with him in a place where ho would bo out of the trocha. Onco in Havana, he would have resolved the problem of breaking the circle in which 1 had him anil his forces in Pinar del Rio. Maceo died as fell all who command forces who at the sight of the enemy fiy away. This discouraged hand ho brought to Havana with the hope of making it light. Any other chief in similar circumstances, his moil disbanded, would bo sure to die. Anil thut is what happened to Maceo. WEYLER. Madrid l'upcrx Kxcoriate Weyler. MADRID, Dec. 16.—Dissatisfaction with General Woyler's conduct of affairs in Cuba grows apace hero. The ministerial papers complain about his returning to Havana to receive an ovation instead of vigorously pursuing tho insurgents in tho province of Pinar del Rio. Other papers resent Gener al Weyler's alleged suppression of tele grams regarding tho ovations to Major Cirujeda upon the receipt of the news that his command had defeated a largely supe rior force of rebels a:ad killed their leader, Maceo. 'i bis action is attributed to jeal ousy on tho part of General Weyler, who, the papers declare, desires to have no ono share with him the honor of suppressing tho insurrection. Credible rumors are cur rent that tho government is not at all sat isfied with General Weyler's administra tion of the civil and military affairs, and that if the situation in Culm docs not shortly improve it will substitute in bis place General Marin, at present governor of Puerto Rico. Sympathy With t!i Cubans. JERSEY CITY, DOC. 16.—There was a meeting to express sympathy with Cuba in her struggle for liberty last night in this city. President Quesada of the local junta presided. Among the speakers was S. C. Hcnriques, who was United States consul at ( ardenas during tho Harrison administration. He said that Spain was oxulthig over the foul assassination of as grand a man as over went forth to give battle in the cause of human liberty. Ho said that murder would out, and that tho murder of Antonio Maceo, one of the best generals of tho age. was a foul crime, that would bring retribution on tho heads of those who accomplished it. Tho United Status, ho declared, could no longer afford to be one of the nations which is oppressing Cuba. MISS COLLINS TO WED. Br. Dfimw'g Fair Ward Will Murry Reel)id Hey In Paris.

For Documents Adopted—Loud's Bill ; Relative to Secnud Class Mall Matter. { WASHINGTON, Dec. lfi.—Sonator Morgan ' of Alabama held the attention of the sen ate and well filled galleries for an hour by ; his earnest advocacy of a strong and de- j cislve policy in dealing with the Cuban I question. The prominence of Mr. Morgan ; in the Cuban debate of last session, when i ho hud charge of tho Cuban resolutions reported from the committee on foreign | relations, gave special interest to his speoch. He spoke in dispassionate stylo, although his words had a diroctness and severity In ! 1 picturing tho horrors oxisting in Cuba such as is seldoyi heard In the senate. Mr. j , Morgan spoko freely of tho possibilities of j I war. welcoming it, if necessary to gnaran | tee tho protection of American citizens, lie asserted that Spain's bankruptcy would prevent the collection of any indomnlty for wrongs. The senator questioned the > wisdom of the president's position that the granting of belligerent rights would bo "untimely." At the close of Mr. Morgan's spoech his resolution wns adopted requesting the sec- j retary of stiito for papers and information relative to the Competitor's prisoners .and othor American citizens hold in Cuba by the Spanish authorities. Tho question of passing the bill grant ing Nancy Allubach a pension, the veto of the president notwithstanding, occasioned considerable debate.

Tho Illinois senator an swered that ho directed his course as a seu ator without referonce to the president The bill was finally passed over the veto ! —yeas, 41; nays, 11. Mr. Allen of Nebraska introduced a resolution for the appointment of a com mittee of nine senators to investigate the extent to which the monoy wus used in | tho recent presidential election. The Loud Bill ID the Hons*. The house entered upon the considera tion of tho Loud bill to amend tho law relating to the transmission of second ! class mail matter. The hill has been wide j ly discussed in tho public press and lias met with tho most intense opposition from certain quarters. It denies tho right of so rial novels t i admission to the malls at the newspaper cent per pound rates, de nies to newspapers the sample copy privi lege, prohibits tho return of unsold pub- j Mentions at pound rates and makes some othor changes in tlie present law designed to oorroct existing abuses. A change in the second class mail matter law has been ; repeatedly urged by successive postmastei j generals. It. was estimated that the abuses j of tho law had cost tho government $2lO,- j 000,000 in tho last ton years. Mr. Loud of ; California, tho author of the measure, j brought it forward, quite unexpectedly to a majority of tho members of the house. The opposition, led by Mr. Quigg of New York, inaugurated a filibuster and at- I tempted to prevent its consideration by ad- I jouruing, but the house stood by Mr. Loud j on two votes, defeating the opposition by a vote of 124 to 102 and 141 to 82. The op- | position, however, are hopeful of defeating tho measure when it is put on its final passage. Mr. Loud made an op on in g speech on the moasuro, during which lit declared that, the bill would save the gov- j eminent $20,000,000 annually. He also ' said that it had received the indorsement i of tho Newspaper Publishers' association I and was only opposed by those who par ticipated in tho bounty obtained under j the present law. Mr. Woodman (Rep.) of Illinois intro duced u joint resolution directing the pros- j ident to intervene in Cuban affairs. Tht j resolution, after reciting Gonernl Maceo's ! reported assassination and Spanish cruel- j ties in Cuba, suys that the president has j that the carry out tho wishes of tho people; failed to honor of the United States is at stake, and that history gives no precedent | on which to base n hope that .Spain will j change to compliance with civilized war ! fare.
